Broadcast Tools SRC-2X Ethernet Enabled Serial Remote Control

Discover Precision Control with the Broadcast Tools SRC-2X
Meet the Broadcast Tools SRC-2X Ethernet Serial Remote Control, a compact powerhouse that bridges the gap between digital control and physical action. This device seamlessly interfaces two optically isolated inputs and two single-pole, single-throw (SPST) relays to an Ethernet port, providing a robust solution for remotely managing devices via your network. Perfect for both industrial and entertainment settings, the SRC-2X allows for real-time notifications and control through simple ASCII commands, making it an indispensable tool for system integrators and network administrators.

Efficient Communication and Control
Communication with the SRC-2X is streamlined and efficient, utilizing short "burst" type ASCII commands that minimize network traffic and optimize responsiveness. Users can receive immediate updates when inputs are activated or deactivated, and control external devices with the unit's relays. This capability is ideal for applications requiring critical timing and precision, such as lighting control, safety monitoring, or automated machinery operations.

Enhanced Customization and Flexibility
The SRC-2X offers extensive customization options to fit specific operational needs. Each input can trigger up to 48 ASCII strings, allowing for detailed command sequences and scenarios based on state changes. Additionally, each relay supports 16 user-defined strings, providing flexibility in control logic and enabling sophisticated automation solutions directly from your PC or network system.

Advanced Configuration for Extended Control
In environments where extended control across multiple locations is necessary, the SRC-2X shines with its master/slave configuration capability. Two units can be connected in standalone mode to function as a "Relay extension cord," offering two channels of control in each direction. This setup is particularly useful for stage productions, large-scale installations, or any scenario where centralized control of dispersed elements is crucial.

Robust Design and Optional Mounting
Designed with reliability in mind, the SRC-2X is built to withstand the demands of active operational environments. It features a surge-protected internal power supply to ensure continuous performance even in unstable electrical conditions. For those needing a structured setup, the unit can be rack-mounted using the optional RA-1 mounting shelf, providing a tidy and secure installation in any rack system.

Ideal for Dynamic Network Management
The Broadcast Tools SRC-2X Ethernet Serial Remote Control is a vital component for anyone needing a reliable and flexible solution for interfacing physical controls with a digital network. Whether you're automating a theater, monitoring a manufacturing process, or controlling building security systems, the SRC-2X provides the control you need right at your fingertips.
